This isn't about Zwift or any of the other virtual workout rides but it looks as if I'm going to do my first virtual ride starting on Sept 1. Our C2C Ride is going virtual this year because there are no lodging accommodations for a group of 50-60 people to be found. The parks where we normally stop for our lunch breaks are also limited to groups of 10. So this year it is going virtual; and it's a lot less expensive.
They are using an app called My Virtual Mission to do the ride with. Unlike Zwift, the route is laid out by the owner and you go and ride anywhere and anytime you want at any distance you want. You can upload your miles to Strava and connect it to MVM or upload directly to MVM. Once uploaded, MVM will show where along the route you are currently at as well as where other attendees are at along the route. The route is the same 225 mile route that we do every year. The big difference is that instead of the 2 1/2 days we normally do the ride in, this years virtual ride will give you 50 days to complete the route.
I guess that having a virtual ride this year will open the ride to more than the normal 50-60 riders and will allow anyone to ride across Florida at their own pace. It's going to be interesting to say the least.
